Re: Bath products

I love bath oils. Le Labo has the full range (esp patch and iris). Ormonde Jayne too (Tolu is warm and rich). Le labo also has body creams, but they are quite strong, so one has to match the perfume there, or use them at night etc.

I use showergels less, but concur that No 5 is excellent. Antaeus too (though it doesn't smell exactly like the perfume).

Re: Bath products

I'm like you Primrose - I adore bath products and consider the really nice ones such a luxury. Bath oils are a favorite, but I especially love the after-bath products, like bath powder, body cream and lotion ...dry oil is another favorite, but if nothing else I'll at least get a body cream or lotion, when available. I've got them for Chanel (Chanel bath and body products are generally excellent) Coco, No5, and No19, Guerlain Chamade, L'Instant and Shalimar Parfum Initial, Amouage Lyric Woman, Gucci No1, Ungaro Diva, Estée Lauder Knowing, Youth Dew and Private Collection, Annick Goutal Eau de Charlotte, Angel ...I could go on, but that's off the top of my head.

Of course if I don't have any products to match to a particular perfume, I'll just use softly scented or non-scented products, but like a lot of you, I'm a bit indifferent when it comes to shower gels. They're nice, but they're really just about the enjoyable shower experience since they don't tend to last on skin.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Re: Bath products

Thank you all for the kind comments. I use bath gels because the delightful scents last only during the bathing. I can use another scent directly afterward. Scented lotions, on the other hand, do carry a good bit of perfume oil.

I also use unscented soaps.
